Invisible work: Why unpaid labour done by women mustn’t go unaccounted for
Of the world’s total paid plus unpaid work hours, 41% are spent on unpaid care work, and of this, women’s share is a glaring 76%. Of all paid-work time, women’s share is only 36%. If that skew sounds sharp, consider this: in 2015, UNDP data showed that on average, women’s unpaid weekly workload was more than thrice that of men. It could not have changed much since.
